First topic message reminder :

Chiefs GM Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel are now "adamant" that Matt Cassel will face competition for his starting job in 2012.
Their stance is a departure from Crennel's unqualified support for Cassel at his introductory press conference three weeks ago. "Who that [competition] is, I don't know," said Pioli. "Maybe it's Kyle (Orton), maybe it's another free agent, maybe it's a draft choice. Very few people can perform at an extremely high level without competition." Cassel will likely enter training camp atop the depth chart regardless. Source: Kansas City Star Feb 2 - 9:05 PM

John Fox would like TWO new QB's to come in and compete with Tim Tebow. So Brady Quinn could be another option to compete with Cassel if Orton ends up walking.

The sad part about that is that Quinn would actually be great competition for Cassel...Clausen would as well.

Both have more potential than Cassel, there's that at least. Younger too

Can't really argue with that. Quinn or Clausen would be legit competition for Cassel. Could push to make Cassel better, or even beat him out. But Orton would have a better shot I think. Only time will tell. Just hope Daboll doesn't talk Pioli into bringing Chad Henne over.

I think Henne is a free agent so it's possible, but Daboll was pushing the trade for Orton before the season started so maybe not likely unless we just can't get Orton for a fair price. But any of the mentioned guys are an improvement over Palko, which is still big.

Yeah Daboll didn't seem to confident in Henne and pushed for the Dolphins to trade for Orton... thankfully Denver wanted too much for him.

ESPN.com's Bill Williamson believes free agent QB Chad Henne "has to be considered one of the possibilities" to compete against Matt Cassel in Kansas City.
The obvious connection is to new coordinator Brian Daboll, who ran the offense when Henne opened the 2011 season as the starter in Miami. Now that Daboll is bringing his offense to Kansas City, Henne makes more sense than fellow free agent Kyle Orton as a backup to or competition for Cassel.

He probably has no idea that the Dolphins tried trading for Kyle Orton before the season started... Or that Kyle Orton runs this scheme very well.

Daboll does run essentially the same offense Muir/Haley ran..right?

Well he knows it well since he was with the Patriots for a good amount of years.

Id rather bring back Orton than bring in Henne. Hell I'd be for Clausen over Henne.

I'm completely for Clausen assuming we have no shot at Luck and RG3.

Lol Matt Flynn? You want this years version of Matt Cassel to compete with Matt Cassel? Manning and Orton are the only of those two I'd be interested in. Then it would be Clausen. Then Henne and Quinn, who would at least be competition I guess. Clausen is the young wildcard with all the tools to be successful. Last year was the first time in his life shit wasn't just handed and catered too him, I would hope that straightens him out a little and he knows he has to work now.

If we dont draft somebody or get Manning, Clausen is a great option. I still think Daboll might push for Henne.
